Recent experiments show that the simultaneous application of oscillatory stresses from audible to ultrasonic frequency ranges can lead to not only softening but also significant dislocation annihilation and subgrain formation in metal samples from the nano- to macro-size range. These findings indicate that the existing understanding of ultrasound softening – that the vibrations either impose additional stress waves to augment the quasi-static applied load, or cause heating of the metal, whereas the metal’s intrinsic deformation resistance or mechanism remains unaltered – is far from complete. To understand the softening and the associated enhanced subgrain formation and dislocation annihilation, a new simulator based on the dynamics of dislocation-density functions is employed. This new simulator considers the flux, production and annihilation, as well as the Taylor and elastic interactions between dislocation densities. Softening during vibrations as well as enhanced cell formation is predicted. The simulations reveal the main mechanism for subcell formation under oscillatory loadings to be the enhanced elimination of statistically stored dislocations (SSDs) by the oscillatory stress, leaving behind geometrically necessary dislocations with low Schmid factors which then form the subgrain walls. The oscillatory stress helps the depletion of the SSDs, because the chance for them to meet up and annihilate is increased with reversals of dislocation motions. This is the first simulation effort to successfully predict the cell formation phenomenon under vibratory loadings.","lang":"eng"}],"oa_version":"None","publication":"Philosophical Magazine","issue":"16-18","publication_status":"published","title":"Strength of metals under vibrations – dislocation-density-function dynamics simulations","quality_controlled":"1","scopus_import":"1","author":[{"last_name":"Cheng","id":"cbe3cda4-d82c-11eb-8dc7-8ff94289fcc9","first_name":"Bingqing","full_name":"Cheng, Bingqing","orcid":"0000-0002-3584-9632"},{"last_name":"Leung","full_name":"Leung, H.S.","first_name":"H.S."},{"full_name":"Ngan, A.H.W.","first_name":"A.H.W.","last_name":"Ngan"}],"doi":"10.1080/14786435.2014.897008","_id":"9686","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"intvolume":"        95","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1478-6443"],"issn":["1478-6435"]},"type":"journal_article","extern":"1","volume":95,"date_updated":"2023-02-23T14:04:59Z"}
